If your Lucas starter has worn out and needs to be repaired, instead of replacing the starter, it may be possible for you to repair the part by removing and replacing the worn out brushes inside the commutator end plate. Removing the brushes in the starter is a job that can be done in about 30 minutes. You can remove the brushes yourself, saving you time and money.
